Selling @Madders10 is one of those transfers you are gutted about but truly hope he goes on to achieve great things in the Premier League and as an England superstar. A HUGE thank you for all the memories, goals and assists at #ncfc - a top professional on and off the pitch.

No doubt @Madders10 is the best player I've ever seen at #NCFC, as I've said for ages he's going right to the top. I feel honoured to have been able to watch him for a whole season! Good luck boss... pic.twitter.com/S5kuWNAAdv

Very sad to see him go but I guess it was inevitable. One of the most talented players to ever wear Canary yellow, an England player in the making. Thanks for the memories, Madders. #ncfchttps://t.co/wdvDep4HPR

Maddison has signed a five-year contract with the Foxes for an undisclosed fee, reported to be worth up to £24million with a series of potential add-ons, a club-record sale for the Canaries.

The England Under-21 international’s former club, Coventry City, will be due a proportion of the multi-millon pound transfer as part of a sell-on fee negotiated when Maddison originally moved to Carrow Road in 2016.

Maddison underwent a medical and finalised personal terms on Monday, after the Canaries accepted a bid from Leicester over the weekend.

Premier League rivals Southampton were the only other club to make a firm offer despite speculation linking Maddison with a number of top flight clubs, including Tottenham, Liverpool, Everton and West Ham.

Maddison scored 14 goals in 42 Championship games for Norwich last season but the end of Premier League parachute payments made it inevitable the Canaries would have to cash in on their prized asset.

James Maddison, one of the most gifted players I have ever seen pull on the Norwich shirt. I truly believe you are destined for the very top, happy my club helped you to develop into the player you are now. The best of luck and make sure you absolutely smash it! @Madders10#ncfc

Thank you for being the player we all dream of having at our club. You were everything we could've dreamed of, and you deserve this move and this chance, we all know you'll take it. All the best @Madders10#NCFC
